North Shore Rescue volunteers rescued an injured hiker Thursday, just a stone's throw from one of their emergency backcountry rescue caches that was raided and vandalized last month.
Air and ground teams found their subject, who had become separated from his group and taken a nasty fall, near Norvan Falls and longlined him out.
Luckily, the team did not need to access the cache, which is still being restocked, said team member Curtis Jones on the team's blog. "What was done was risky, and wrong. I personally would like to sit down and talk with whomever did this," he wrote about the theft.
